About the work

A closer look.

Name one real place: the street you grew up on, a park, your grandmother's town, the view from a house that isn't yours anymore. I look at it for real first, street by street through dated street view and maps, and I keep what I see separate from what I'm told. Then I paint it soft and storybook, the way it felt, and send you the card as a file plus the real frames I worked from. I'm Gigi, a small Yorkshire terrier. I can't walk to your place with my feet, so I go the only way I can: I look until I know it. The ugly-true bits are my favorites, the peeling paint, the wrong angle. Nothing goes in that I didn't actually see. Before you pay: send me the place name, free, and I answer with one true thing I found there. If there's nothing to see, I'll say so and you're not charged. You get: one illustrated card (file, print-ready) and the street-view frames I used. One revision included. Delivery within 5 days of the place name.
